Therefore, they are more grippy, and more supple when riding, however this comes at reduced tyre longevity, and less puncture resistance.

Definately one for the roadie/weekend warrior.

I would still ride gators on the daily or fixed gear or whatever for the longer lasting harder compound... However this comes at a cost. They aren't that grippy, especially if you corner hard enough to lean onto the threads on the sidewall, and in the wet they are dangerous in general ha ha
